Materials Bulletin: Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) Brief

ASR is a reaction between the alkali hydroxides in concrete and reactive forms of silica in the aggregate. The reaction forms a gel that swells when moisture is present. The two step process can be visualized as: 1. Alkali + Silica → Gel reaction Product 2. Gel reaction Product + Moisture → Expansion Factors Affecting ASR

The effect of supplementary cementing materials on alkali-silica …

The first stage of the alkali-silica reaction is the reaction between the hydroxyl ions (OH −) in the pore solution and reactive silica in the aggregate; the silica is not directly attacked by the alkali metal cations (Na + and K +).The alkalis contribute initially to the high concentration of hydroxyl ions in solution and later to the formation of an expansive alkali-silica gel.

Optimizing Concrete Mixes by Concurrent Use of Fly Ash and Quarry Dust

The use of fly ash in concrete is desirable because of benefits such as useful disposal of a byproduct, increased workability, reduction of cement consumption, increased sulfate resistance, increased resistance to alkali-silica reaction and decreased permeability. However, the use of fly ash leads to a reduction in early strength of concrete. The use of quarry dust in concrete is …
